Wow someone give Tou a medal for being so chatty about all the not important things and so reticent about the things that matter!

Unfortunately stupidity is something not everyone grows out of. And it seems to me that she is rather cunning even at a young age.

Hahaha! I can tell you are besotted with him! <3
I agree Yuqi is best described as cute but the drama makes it a point of telling us many times that her character Xuexi's beauty rivals that of Hongxiu.

It only airs from Thursdays till Sunday, two episodes a time.

I came to realize that it really helps the depth of the characters when dramas are adapted from books. L&D is ultimately just written by screenwriters whereas TMOPB and Untamed (which I only thought was ok) were both book adaptations. The characters are just that much more dimensional.

Wow thanks for this very thoughtful and fair analysis of their relationship development. I think you describe it a lot better than it actually unfolds in the show. I just feel like he fell for her very hard from the get go which seemed out of sync with her immaturity and naivete. And then he kind of pulled back to "find himself" which seemed like a big slap on the face and rather cad-like behavior after coming on so strong. I did think - huh? what just happened there? I mean your explanation makes sense but maybe Luo Yunxi should have dialed down the intensity a bit at earlier on because I wasn't getting mixed signals from him, I really thought wow he is really into her. And I didn't get why, bc at that stage she isn't that interesting. I haven't caught all of this weeks episodes yet or rather I keep dozing off in the middle of them so I need to re-watch/my impressions may be a bit off.

I don't mind talking if the conversation is interesting or there is spirited banter, which there was a teensy little bit in the beginning. But all this "Who am I? Who are you? Who would you rather be if you were not you?..." It just makes me doze off. I also don't really see what Tou sees in Xuezi - she is just a naive young girl not that different from Fengzi except maybe she is not literally a 疯子.

I give up.

Yeah I like the couple but I keep dozing off from the talking I can't seem to progress the show. Really hope the plot shows up soon or this is just gonna be a talk show...

Spot on! Tsk tsk - he is one of those pain in the ass, complicated introspective and misunderstood types. Lots of baggage that sucks the lifeblood out of you!!!

Wow they actually speak Taiwanese Hokkien in this - it is an especially effective dialect for cussing!!! LOL!!!

At least that involves two people, which would be a big upgrade from where I am... the ML is just talking about himself a lot. Yawn!

Hmmm... could have something to do with the fact that the ML occasionally looks like a Chinese Count Dracula. This dude needs some sun.

Not at all fussed about tiny hints like that :).

It’s got some beautiful prose and deep meaning so if you need subs don’t watch amazon/YouTube version. Drama cool has the best subs I have seen.

heheh I am not there yet but I will keep my ears open for that now.

Yes, it is quite adorable.

It cracks me up that they are still addressing each other so formally!

She is young and naive but she is not weak. In fact, she is quite spirited.

It is a very passionate love story that goes through many dark and even abusive moments. They have a time of happiness together and then the drama ends due to censorship. In the book they both die tragically. My opinion is that if the drama aired in full (16 more episodes) they would have all died as they did in the book.
